COTTonLINE wishes our readers a happy Mothers’ Day. Moms are important in the lives of almost all of us.
That importance is inherent in a species like ours which experiences a long maturation process. We require a lot of post-natal shaping to configure our infant selves into functioning adults, and mothers take the lead in this process.
Once a year we stop and pay homage to our mothers’ centrality in our development and lives. In truth, in a long life it’s a rare week when we don’t think of them.
